As I drove to the office this morning I listened to one of the great hymns of our faith. "Holy, Holy, Holy!" Against the backdrop of blue sky, the crisp New Years Eve temperatures, and the fresh mid-western air, it is easy to contemplate the goodness of God. And so I share my "time alone with God" with you today. Just my thoughts ... a clumsy, renegade mind ... contemplating the wonder of the Holy God.

"Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!"
-Pure, perfect, and righteous. You are the Unstoppable God!"Early in the morning my song shall rise to thee."
-Sleeping in does not compare with entering your presence in worship."Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
-Blameless, faultless, and spotless. You are kind and you are powerful!"God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!"
-Though there is one of you, yet there are three of you! Holy Trinity!

"Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee."
-Awesome, breath taking, and beautiful, everyone who is yours is in love with you!"Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea."
-We throw down our greatest rewards and they sparkle in the beauty of your creation."Cherubim and Seraphim, falling down before Thee."
-Even the powerful angels voluntarily bow before you."Which wert, and art, and evermore shall be!"
-The one who was. The one who is. The one who shall be forever!

"Holy, holy, holy! Tho' the darkness hide Thee.
-Lovely, captivating, precious. Even though the sin of this world makes it hard to see You."Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see."
-Even though the plank in our eye keeps us from gazing upon the perfection of your beauty."Only Thou are holy, there is none beside Thee."
-Still it is true that you are the only holy One. You stand alone!"Perfect in power, in love, and purity."
-There is not a trace of a flaw in your ability, your motivation, or your worthiness.

"Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!"
-Divine, exalted, worthy! Master, Creator, King!"All Thy works shall praise Thy Name in earth, and sky, and sea."
-Everything you do shouts your praises on land, in the heavens, and in the depths."Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!"
-Flawless, sinless, guiltless! Forgiving though quite able
to avenge!"God in three Persons. Blessed Trinity!"
-The only God, presented in perfection! YOU ALONE ARE BLESSED!

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
